Isabel Wilkerson on CASTE: THE ORIGINS OF OUR DISCONTENTS
\u201cI wouldn't have written the book if I were not hopeful. I mean, the act of writing this book was a prayer for our country \u2014 it's making the case that there's another way of looking more deeply under the surface of our country, a way of seeing it that can enlighten us\u2026\u201d\xa0

From Pulitzer Prize-winning author Isabel Wilkerson, Caste combines history, social commentary and individual narratives into a work that is wholly original, stunningly written and impressively researched. Wilkerson joins us to talk about arriving at the concept of caste in America, The Warmth of Other Suns, the personal stories that connect readers to Caste, her hope for the future and more with Poured Over\u2019s host, Miwa Messer. Stick around after the interview for TBR Topoff book recommendations from Marc and Jamie.\xa0
